Cuppas, pinnies and mug mats.




These are the simple pincushions nested in Fiestaware cups that I showed you last week. M-R from Quilt Matters and Kat from Ladybug Hugs suggested that I make some mug rugs to go with the cups. And there was a second on that motion. I listened and here they are.


I used Treasures and Tidbits and Half Moon Modern for the squares and Essex Linen for the solid portion and the backing of the mats.


I used up almost all my dots on the binding and squares.  These dots are precious to me so I guess this qualifies me for Kelby's My Precious QAL. My HMM dots are almost gone!


I'm still tempted to add a few more pincushions to my Fiesta collection along with a few more mug mats.


                       Sometimes it's the simplest of things that make us most happy.
